The work done at the Vaseux and k’əmcənitkw wetlands speaks to a vision shared by late Okanagan Indian Band Chief Albert Saddleman in the 1990s — “to put back the river, bring back the fish, and put back the people.”

“There’s the potential in the future to re-route the flow of water, so not having a channelized system anymore,” said Moran.

“Potentially — eventually — having the river once again meandering through a functioning wetland.”

Environmental Concerns Over Huon Aquaculture's Antibiotic Use.
A recent EPA report reveals that Huon Aquaculture administered over a tonne of antibiotics during a bacterial outbreak earlier this year. Alarmingly, wild fish near their Tasmanian lease showed antibiotic levels up to 12 times the legal limit for commercially sold salmon. While public health officials state there's no immediate risk to consumers, environmental groups and the public are raising serious concerns about aquaculture practices and marine ecosystem health.

Mass mortality events - A hot and polluted ocean

"It's too much. The ocean can't take it … the ecosystem is teetering on collapse."

"It is the biggest "bloom" in almost a decade...The bloom had been caused by an oversupply of nutrients in the water, from runoff, overfishing, and a natural upwelling in the ocean."

"We need to reduce pollution and other pressures on our rivers and coastal waters to make them as resilient as possible. This would include the reduction in nutrient loads from fish farming, agriculture and sewage."
